Wallington 10k
[Mon 10th Sep]
4 runners from Blyth completed in the
Run Northumberland Wallington 10K on Sunday 9th September 2012 with warm
conditions and a challenging course thwarting any chances of PB’s on the day.
The race started with a fast downhill for the first
2K then flattened out before the 4K mark. PB’s were still possible at this
point until ‘4K hill’ appeared, closely followed by ‘5K hill’. From then on,
the course climbed gradually to around 8K before the last downhill stretch into
a scenic finish in the grounds of Wallington Hall.
First runner back was Jon French who finished in a
cracking 18th position from 160 runners with a time of 41:34. Steven French
finished in 41st position with 45:41, Dave Potts just back from his holidays
ran a conservative 50:11 to finish in 70th position. Davina
Lonsdale finished in 90th position (18th lady) with a time of 52:34.
A good ‘hilly’ 10K race, all on roads – a definite
for the diary next year!
